A couple of books that are good light reading but also informative are from Matthew Kidman, who was Geoff Wilson's first employee when he started WAM Funds. Matthew was formerly a journalist. He went from that to working for Geoff at WAM and then ultimately establishing his own funds management business, Centennial Asset Management. Matthew's fund, The Level 18 Fund which was established in 2015, has generated returns of 17.30% per annum to March 2022.

Matthew also does regular work for Livewire Markets including being either a guest on, or the host of, their "Buy, Hold, Sell" segments.

That one covers Brian McNamee (CSL), Gerry Harvey (Harvey Norman, HVN), Wal King (Leighton Holdings, became CIMIC, now taken over by German company HOCHTIEF which is majority owned by Spanish company ACS based in Madrid), Paul Little (Toll Holdings, Toll is now owned by Japan Post), Owen Hegarty (Oxiana, which merged with Zinifex to become Oz Minerals - OZL), Colin Goldschmidt (Sonic Healthcare, SHL), Pat Grier (Ramsay Health Care, RHC), Edmund Bateman (Primary Health Care, now Healius, HLS), Graham "Scroo" Turner (Flight Centre, FLT), David Simmons (Hills Industries, now just called Hills Ltd, HIL), John Rubino (Monadelphous Group, MND), Andrew Reitzer (Metcash, MTS) and Ron Hancock (Wide Bay Australia, now Auswide Bank - ABA).
I admit I skipped straight past Wal King, but I found the other interviews and profiles very interesting. The first book there ("Bulls, Bears and a Croupier...") was also recommended by @Mujo up near the start of this thread. I second that recommendation. Very interesting.
